Jason Wilde

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to talk Packers schedule possibilities, international games, and Matthew Golden’s development heading into 2026.

Wilde makes the case for opening the season with Packers-Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday Night Football, even though the crew pushes back because Micah Parsons may miss the start of the season and Green Bay may not be at full strength.

The conversation also dives into whether the Packers would rather play the Lions in Munich or the Saints in Paris, why international travel may be worse than road-field advantage, and why Matt LaFleur’s feelings about overseas games are already well known.

Plus, Wilde reacts to Jason Vrable’s comments about Matthew Golden, explaining why Golden’s rookie-year struggles may have been tied to playbook confidence, route adjustments, and learning to play fast.

Jason Wilde joins Homer and Bryan Bulaga to unpack the debate over whether last year’s Packers were truly mediocre or simply derailed by injuries. Wilde argues Green Bay’s final record looked average, but the roster and eye test told a different story before the late-season collapse. The guys compare that team to past Packers seasons, including the 2010 and 2014 squads, while looking ahead to concerns for 2026. They also discuss Marshawn Lloyd’s health, Chris Brooks’ role, and whether Green Bay has enough reliable depth behind Josh Jacobs.

Jason Wilde joins Kyle and Brust to push back on the idea that the Packers were a “mediocre” team last season, challenging Mark Tauscher’s results-based take. Wilde argues injuries derailed a legitimate contender and explains why the team’s overall feel matters just as much as the final record. He also dives into concerns about the Packers’ depth and offensive line heading into 2026, questioning whether those issues could hold them back. The conversation shifts to Jordan Love’s development, what he does at a high level, and where he still needs to improve to reach “top-tier” status. It’s a candid breakdown of where the Packers stand—and what needs to go right for them to take the next step.

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to break down the biggest pressure points on the Green Bay Packers roster.

The main debate: who has more pressure in 2026 — Jordan Morgan or Matthew Golden?

Chewy makes the case for Golden, arguing the Packers need someone to replace lost production at wide receiver. But Wilde pushes back and says the pressure is greater on Jordan Morgan, because if Green Bay’s new left tackle struggles, the Packers could be in serious trouble.

Wilde also discusses:

why Tucker Kraft could be the Packers’ next drafted All-Pro

whether Christian Watson could have a monster year if healthy

why Davante Adams has a real Hall of Fame case

whether Brandon McManus is in danger of losing the kicking job

why rookie kicker Trey Smack may be getting every chance to win it

and why rookie camp offered very little real evaluation

Jason Wilde joins Homer to break down the Packers’ addition of Tyrod Taylor and why his value goes beyond just being a backup to Jordan Love. Wilde explains how Taylor’s experience and preparation could benefit the quarterback room, while still emphasizing the need for a reliable option if Love misses time. The conversation also revisits defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, with Homer arguing the hire is a bigger gamble than most realize. Wilde provides context on Gannon’s résumé and why perception may not match reality. The segment closes with a deeper look at how teams balance risk, experience, and upside when building coaching staffs and rosters.

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly on the Yuengling Guest Hotline to talk about the questions surrounding the Packers' offense -- what's not to like about Tyrod Taylor as the new QB2, and which starting position is Jason most concerned about (on both offense & defense). Jason also gives his takeaways from finally getting Jonathan Gannon speak during yesterday's press conference, and he gives some more interesting highlights from the other assistant coaches who spoke today! Jason also talks about his Cinco De Mayo plans, the weirdest foods he's eaten while driving, and he power ranks the four "weird" members of Jim, Matt & Molly (and producer Primetime)!

Jason Wilde joins The Homer Hour and dives deep into the uncertainty surrounding Jonathan Gannon as the Packers’ defensive coordinator. Wilde pushes back on dismissing Gannon’s 29% head coaching record entirely, emphasizing that his limited coordinator experience makes him a legitimate unknown. The conversation centers on whether Gannon is simply a “gamble” or something more, with both sides agreeing his résumé lacks a clear track record. Wilde also critiques Gannon’s claim of not having a defensive scheme, calling it misleading while acknowledging modern coaching involves some level of adaptability. The discussion expands into a broader debate on whether NFL coaches adjust to players or force players into their system, using Matt LaFleur’s offensive evolution as a key example.

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe and Chewy to react to the Packers’ coordinator availabilities, starting with Jonathan Gannon’s first public comments as defensive coordinator. Wilde explains why Gannon’s “no scheme” philosophy reflects the modern NFL, with the defense expected to shift week to week based on opponent and personnel.

The conversation turns to Gannon’s expectations for the cornerback room, especially the need for physical, willing tacklers. Wilde also weighs in on Adam Stenavich’s comments about offensive execution before breaking down the Packers’ decision to sign Tyrod Taylor, arguing the move shows Brian Gutekunst recognizes Green Bay needs proven veteran insurance behind Jordan Love in a Super Bowl-or-bust season.

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt, and Molly to give his thoughts on Chase Claypool, including lending credence to Jim's take on him potentially switching to TE, Trey Smack, and some of the other great stories from Packers Rookie Mini Camp!

Jen, Gabe, and Chewy dig into several Packers roster questions with Jason Wilde, starting with Green Bay’s decision to pick up Lukas Van Ness’s fifth-year option. Jason explains that the move is less about past production and more about projected upside, with the Packers betting that Van Ness can still grow into a much more impactful pass rusher. The crew compares that decision to past first-rounders, discusses why the price is still manageable at a premium position, and debates whether Van Ness is set up for a breakout now that Micah Parsons will draw so much attention on the other side.

The conversation also turns to the Packers’ edge depth overall, including how much confidence the team has in younger players like Baron Sorrell, Colin Oliver, Deny Dennis-Sutton, and Brenton Cox. Jason breaks down why Green Bay may view the fifth-year option as both an upside swing and an insurance policy while those younger rushers continue to develop.

Later in the hour, the group shifts to the running back room, with Jason weighing in on whether the Packers truly believe MarShawn Lloyd can be the answer behind Josh Jacobs. While Lloyd’s talent and explosiveness still intrigue the organization, his injury history makes it difficult to count on him. That leads to a broader conversation about whether Green Bay still needs to add another body for competition and how much trust they can realistically place in Lloyd, Chris Brooks, and the current depth options heading into camp.
